Lol I didn’t actually end up staying here as I changed my plans last minute and went south to Moalboal instead. The communication I received from this hostel was top notch and when I go back north to Cebu I will definitely rebook as their customer service seems to be quite excellent and also their proximity to the bus station to go south is super convenient!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Decent base from which to explore cebu. Needed somewhere cheap as we wouldn't be spending much time here and the hotel was exactly that. Hotel really kindly did us a packaged breakfast as we had a 3am pickup for a tour to Oslob. Hotel itself feels safe. Doorman to welcome you, nice lobby area and helpful staff.

    Great location, in the middle of the city, a lot of shops near by, lovely roof terrace, free drinking water. They also offered us a free breakfast (not mentioned on the booking website) which was a lovely surprise - rice, sausage, egg and coffee. There is a kitchen that you can use. Quiet at night, ac, hostel inside is modern. Great price.

    Cleanliness. Be aware that a double room is short of space for 2 people, but will do the job right for a solo traveler. Don't hesitate to get in touch with the people at reception. They are very friendly and helpful if you need any tip. A TV with Netflix. Overall, It was nice having 2 relaxing, restful and comfortable nights for cheap in the course of a long trip... And this "hostel" does fulfill that duty very well Recommended!

    For being a big hostel with many people in and out all the time the space was incrediblely clean. Bathrooms were especially clean for being a high turnover hostel. Great location close to the pier for early morning ferry and coffee bar opened early enough for me to grab an ice coffee before my 7am trip. It was delicious.

    The host was really nice and provided us good service. It's really cheap so if you are on a budget this one is nice. Also there is a guard watching out who walks into the area where the place is located, so it's a safe place to stay.
